Inspired by the Olympic rings, each one representing a continent participating in the games, and also by the fact that daily our lives are pushed and pulled by the Earth’s Rotation and the value of money- I created a work to illustrate these daily changes, or TIDES, from around the world. I assigned a colour and system to each continent:
Red for Africa, monitored the times of sunrise in Kampala Uganda
Blue for Oceana demonstrated the times of sunset in Wellington New Zealand
Black reflected Asia, and the Tokyo stock exchange the value of the Nikke
Green for the America’s presented the value of the dollar to the pound
And yellow for Europe illustrated the amount of gold medals the UK has won in previous Olympic games and in the 2012 games.

Other then the Olympics, the most talked about subject in London in summer 2012 was the weather. The aim was to create a collective work, simulating the diversity of who lives in London, and illustrating the tantalizing downpoor that plagues the city. Options to select included: not raining, pregnant clouds, moisturizing mist, to apocalyptic torrents, and finally raining like a cow relieving itself.The work grew throughout the summer- and was a catalyst for deeper conversation about meteorology.
